Description

The Day the Earth Stood Still (20th Century Fox, 1951). One
Sheet (27" X 41").
One of the biggest names among the sci-fi classics, this Robert
Wise picture perfectly encapsulated the growing anxiety of American
citizens as the world advanced into the Atomic Age. The themes of
peace and destruction balance against one another throughout the
film in the alien emissary Klaatu and his towering bodyguard Gort,
eventually offering the audience the hope of a better, safer world.
An icon among sci-fi posters, professional restoration to this one
sheet has addressed fold wear, pinholes into the interior, and mild
paper loss in the borders. There is a tear from the upper border
that extends into the top of the black background and a tear from
the lower left border into the background. The linen has been
trimmed to the borders with only a minute trim into the edge of the
left border. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.
